This paper presents an automatic content-based image retrieval (CBIR) system for brain tumors on T1-weighted contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance images (CE-MRI).The key challenge in CBIR systems for MR images is the semantic gap between the low-level visual information captured by the MRI machine and the high-level information perceived by the hum
Polymer networks based on cyclodextrin and polyethylene glycol were prepared through polyaddition crosslinking using isophorone diisocyanate.The envisaged material properties are the hydrophilic character, specific to PEG and cyclodextrins, and the capacity to encapsulate guest molecules in the cyclodextrin cavity through physical interactions.The
The effects induced by heat on Depurple and Cheddar (Brassica oleracea L.var.botrytis) during boiling, steaming, and sous-vide were investigated to elucidate the role of the basic cellular elements in softening and extractability of sterols and tocopherols.With this aim, an elastoplastic mechanical model was conceptualized at a cell scale-size and
IntroductionThe 1980 eruption of Mount St.Helens had devastating effects above and belowground in forested montane ecosystems, including the burial and destruction of soil microbes.Soil Skin Care microbial propagules and legacies in recovering ecosystems are important for determining post-disturbance successional trajectories.Soil microorganisms re
This paper presents a miniaturized circularly polarized multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna for wearable biotelemetric devices.The proposed MIMO antenna consists of four elements, which are placed orthogonally to the adjacent elements.The proposed antenna has a wideband response [10-dB bandwidth of 2210 MHz (fractional bandwidth (FBW) = 9
